Compressor Station Upgrades, Phase 2 - Sources Sought National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center (LaRC) is seeking Capability Statements from all interested parties, including Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SD-VOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for the Compressor Station Upgrades, Phase 2. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses here to. The NASA LaRC Compressor Station Upgrades, Phase 2 construction project will furnish and install all equipment and prepare the site as specified in the design for the Compressor Station (Building 1247E), including the use of an AG Equipment HPA-4C-D-4R Compressor System. This work will include demolishing the existing Compressor 4 / Dryer 3, piping, electrical, foundation, and all associated ancillary systems. The new Compressor System (to be designated Compressor 8), piping, electrical, foundation, and all ancillary systems shall be furnished, installed, and integrated into the station per the design. The new Compressor 8 system shall supply 8 lb/sec of high pressure air @ 6,000 psi and -80degF dewpoint. The new compressor system shall consist of a specified centrifugal compressor that feeds a dryer that feeds a reciprocating compressor and shall have a design life expectancy of 30 years. Although the normal operations of the compressor are expected to be 1,000 hours per year, the compressor shall be designed to perform per normal industry standard (continuous operation). The goals of this project are to obtain reliable performance and operation, improved maintainability and improved on-line availability of the Compressor Station by utilizing industry proven equipment and operation techniques.
